* A data object is a representation of some structured data. * it is the fundamental component in the SDO (Service Data Objects) package. * Data objects support reflection, path-based accesss, convenience creation * and deletion methods,and the ability to be part of a data graph. * Each data object holds its data as a series of properties. * Properties can be accessed by name, property index, or using the property * meta object itself. *
* A data object can also contain references to other data objects, through * reference-type properties. *
* A data object has a series of convenience accessors for its properties. * These methods either use a path (String), a property index, * or the property's meta object itself, to identify the property. * Some examples of the path-based accessors are as follows: *
* DataObjectPtr company = ...;
* company->getString("name");
* company->setString("name", "acme");
* company->getString("department.0/name")
* company->getString("department[1]/name")
* (Note .n indexes from 0, whilst [] indexes from 1.
* company->getDataObject("department[number=123]") returns the department where number=123
* company->getDataObject("..") returns the containing data object
* company->getDataObject("/") returns the root containing data object
* There are specific accessors for the primitive types and commonly used
* data types like String.
